You (and everyone who experiences this) have updated every single package from source, while having too many things installed. It literally takes ages to compile everything. Just update via binaries next time :)

@johnny5126

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. If I were faced with only having one, I'd probably choose a USB HID-compliant controller interface, as it could still be key-mapped later if need be.

Tyvm. Downloading now.

@herb_fargus I already did install it, made the whole thread from my Raspberry. Also I don't know why but the custom install i did for MPV and its codecs only works on tops of full raspbian, not raspbian lite. At least thats what the guy from the thread said.

@sano This sounds very much like what I'm trying to accomplish! :)
is there a separate hid for sony clones? The controller is still being detected as "ShanWan PS3/PC Wired GamePad"

@dam034 please give more details about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Check your ROM folder permissions, try to use the Reset Rom Folder permissions function from the RetroPie setup script (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#reset-ownershippermissions-of-homepiretropie-roms).

@mitu did a great script that exports your gamelists to Excel :

Myst 3 skips a great deal on the video when I try it in ResidualVM. Any way I could get smooth playback?

@mediamogul thanks for the reply.

Doesnt look like atari800 emulation has robust input mapping.
But read more here? https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Atari-800-and-5200

@bcottington said in Retropie for 3D mame games:

Starblade

Try the MAME 0.139 version with lr-mame2010, I haven't tested but saw that it might work.

@jimbee select + x is the default way to access the retroarch menu (for future reference)

@ehindy Do you have samba enabled? That's what makes it pop up on your network. I rather use a client to transfer like winscp or flashfxp. If you wish to go that route, enable ssh in raspi-config and insert the pi's ip with port 22 and login/pass of pi/raspberry in client.

@herb_fargus I see, thanks :)

@mitu Thank you very much! Just needed a good noob starting point, much appreciated.

@lou It's detailed in the 1st post where the Stretch image is posted:

WiiFi is disabled until wireless regulatory domain is set (Pi 3 B+ only)
The domain can be done through 'Raspberry Pi Configuration' (rc_gui),
raspi-config or by setting 'country=' to an appropriate ISO 3166
alpha2 country code in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.

I am using 2 iBuffalo SNES controllers plus an arcade stick too, which are connected all the time through usb. And I don't have this problem, just saying it. What I don't understand, why do you use xboxdrv? These gamepads are working out of the box.

I also use RetroPie joystick-selection script, which lets you set the gamepads as player 1, 2, 3, 4 in what order you want. After restart, this selection remains. Now, when I think back, I installed this because I had the problem after restart the order wasn't fixed without this script. It was randomly changed. This script gives fixed order, either system wide or even different settings for each emulator.

Not sure if I did understand your problem and if you already use this script.

@lexlondon try reinstalling the Amiga emulator/refreshing emulationstation/ make sure you don't have a custom es_systems.cfg overriding it/check parse gamelist setting...

@andrehen Glad it works now and thank you too for the final answer, telling us whats going on.
